The Aftermath – Exploring the Brutality of War
This slide delves into the destructive aftermath of war, focusing on the emotional and material impact of catastrophe.
This painting captures a daunting, war-torn, gory landscape where the buildings stand as if they are grieving the aftermath of wars.
The fractured facade embodies wounds result from war and violence. The red is both blood and anger, dripping down the buildings like open wounds. It symbolizes not only the physical destruction but also the emotional pain and rage left by war.
The structure seem to be mourning in silence. Its broken forms, represented layered and peeled paper, embodies individuals who once lived there, experience suffering and loss.
This piece showcase the aftermath of war, depicting the pain and suffering mankind experience in a war zone.
Influenced by the Cry of the Fallen, Aftermath also used red a symbol of blood and pain. However, the emotional impact from the Aftermath is enhanced by the use of sharpen and disorganized texture created by modeling paste and palette knife.
The bottom of the architecture is more fragmented. This reflects the impact of war does not limit to what can be seen from the surface, the pain that humanity experienced from warzone will live on for years.
